SSRS Reports - When few objects are hidden in the report, the white space between the objects will accumulate and displayed as a big gap between the objects on the report

In Reports where some objects are set to be shown/hide based on some expression/filter condition etc.
There Could be some white space issue between the objects on the report( i.e. when few objects are hidden in the report, the white space between the objects will accumulate and displayed as a big gap between the objects on the report).

Following are few ways using which we can handle this kind of issue:
1. Remove the Gap between the objects in the report layout.
2. Or put a text box and make the border the same as the background color and apply the same show/hide action on it.
3. If you are using a table/matrix then instead of putting the space between objects, just add one static row above the column header for the table/matrix and make the border color the same background color.

below is one approach:

The report before any space handling:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Report Preview when all the objects are set to visible


Report Preview when the objects was hide

after using the Text Box:

Adding a text box in the layout below the table which is set to show
and hide with the same show hide property



Report Preview after the objects hidden

How to do Error Handling for Transaction using Try Catch Block

Issue : Some time we get requirements where we have to use transaction to do some DML operations to make sure the unit of work should be done completely. But there could be error while doing this. So, how we can cope up with errors to achieving this? Solution: We can use Transaction in the Try Catch block to make sure that the transaction either successful or rollback if there is any error. Below is an example for this: BEGIN TRY --Start the Try Block.. BEGIN TRANSACTION -- Start the transaction.. UPDATE [dbo] . [Table] SET salary = salary * 1.1 WHERE MID = 6 --DML operations to be done in the transaction COMMIT TRAN -- Transaction Success! END TRY --End of the Try Block BEGIN CATCH --Start the Catch Block IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 --check the error count for the errors ROLLBACK TRAN --RollBack in case of Error --to raise the error message when there is an issue. Declare the variables and se the values for them DECLARE @Er...
